After played both PoE and Deadfire for many years and come back to review two games, I also prefer PoE's class feature + generic talent pool system than Deadfire's no generic talent pool. With it all classes feels more flexible and can cover more roles. You can build a tank Rogue, a dps Paladin in PoE. In Deadfire this is more restricted because developers moved only a few generic talents to each classes and you have to choose among these. Otherwise you have to multiclass to get access to more talents.

Lots of reports of fighting along the Ukrainian/ Russian border in Kharkov and Sumy oblasts. Actual progress or lack thereof is rumours* but the fighting is genuine without seeming particularly significant, yet. Always likely to be the problem with the Ukrainian raids, if Russia stations troops there Ukraine has to as well so there's very little benefit, and it gives Russia the ability to launch raids as well plus obfuscate any larger scale operations. *varying from the al Sahhaf-esque 'not a metre has been lost' to the entire RDK running away leaving a massive gap in Ukrainian lines.

We are aware of the Location Obstructed building bug in Grounded. The team is currently working on a solution for this issue and we'll update players as soon as we have more information to share. Please note that the issue seems to occur with bases built around or on large objects such as the oak tree, wood pile, picnic table or other large in-game landmarks. If you run into any other issues during your time with Grounded please feel free to submit a support ticket. Obsidian Support Thanks

BPM changes to Binding block are limited to value tweaking. So it's not that. And suppressing the file so it is a second reason for not being related to this particular file. Another BPM change could cause this effect. But please be aware that Binding block is an active ability (modal stacks as active) so maybe it got suppressed by something else. Maybe another active ability buffing accuracy that was tweaked by BPM could suppress it ? Even in this case, it won't be technically a bug.

¡No puedo cambiar nada de lugar o colocar cosas en mi base! Cualquier cosa nueva que quiera poner o cosa antigua que quiera mover de lugar me dice que el lugar está obstruido aunque está vacío, ayuda como puedo arreglar eso?

I've had issues as well, I can place walls and such in a new place but not able to add things to my existing base. I can even destroy a wall but it won't let me build the same thing in it's place. I have a large "paved" space outside my house using pebble foundations with no lights or chests nearby and can't build a wall on it (of any variation).

I also used to have many of the old tabletop boardgame wargames and strategy games back in the '80s and '90s, but now have just four left: Gulf Strike; NATO: The Next War in Europe; Civilization (the old AH boardgame); and, Axis & Allies. Apparently, "Gulf Strike" is the game SGS is going to be making as a video game next, after they're done with updates for "NATO's Nightmare", which is their most recent release. Used to play these games with a hardcore group of wargamers I was friends with in college. We also did a lot of TT miniatures wargaming. I used to have the rulebooks and a TON of miniatures for the Challenger 2000 system for modern land warfare. I had entire armored/mechanized/motor rifle battalions for Cold War US and Soviet armies. Nowadays I don't get to play TT anything anymore as I don't have anyone nearby with those interests. For video games I only have "The Operational Art of War IV," but unfortunately its developer, Matrix Games, has not been good at all in providing any updates or new scenarios since its initial release, leaving it up to modders to do that work. The problem for me with most existing "TOAW 4" scenarios, as with many other video game wargames, is that some 90% are WW2, and especially Eastern Front games. And the scope of those games, where you're running literally thousands of units, just feel way too overwhelming for me. I like my wargames at the operational level (so, regiments/brigades and higher), but with only a small number of units per side. But apparently, that's exactly the opposite of what most other gamers like to play, it would seem.

Replaying Allen Wake on the Xbox. This thing is still fun.

I've had multiple occasions where I am trying to build on grass floors with large areas and getting location obstructed. I am in a Multiplayer world but was hosting, tried quitting and coming back in multiple times but ended up having to completely move the grass to a slightly different area and then it worked. This has happened in a few different areas in a few different scenarios for me so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the mechanics?

Hello Elric, I want to report a bug with the small shield ability " Binding block" who doesn't seem to work with your mod (only the 25% of time recover with weapons is applied, no bonus !). When I desactivate the balance polishing mod buff it works fine with the +15 accuracy bonus granted by a missed ennemy melee attack. I try to suppress the file related to this ability in the gamedata but it doesn't change anything. Thanks !

Malc you being cynical again, remember you said you werent going to be as cynical

@Gorth, the game "Flat Top" was specifically mentioned by the SGS guy in a Steam froum post as a game he'd love to work on in the future. But he also mentions that the game "Carrier Battles", which is currently available on Steam, is a very close replication of Flat Top. I'll post on the board games I still have later today when I get back home. Am posting this from work.

When the IDF piles up dead civilians, at least they have the out of saying they had to use inaccurate weapons because the US was mean.

I used to have more board games, but as mentioned before, moving often and long distances makes it hard to build up a circle of like minded friends. I used to do the old Play by Mail too with "War in Russia". We had a floppy with the game. We would take turns, save the game, mailing the floppy to the opponent once a week. Spent a lot of stamps and envelopes on that (a game turn in the game was one week, so we never finished it, stopping before 6 years had passed) We did take quite a few turns when we visited each other though, skipping the mailing part and just hot seating it... Gary Grigsby, Sid Meier, those were "the good old days"

The gold cards are no longer required for 100% completion. Gold Cards are now only for additional Collection Bragging Rights.

HBO/Max - Tokyo Vice: white guy wants to be a news (print) reporter in 90's Japan. Gets involved in seedy underworld plots and stuff. I love Ken Watanabe, I'll try it. Episode 1: Ken is on-screen for about 10 seconds. The rest is largely setup/chr. building for the youthful main character. I found it well shot/done but kinda slow/boring. Main chr. initially not super likable/a tad annoying but earnest. It's just that most of the supporting/side chrs. come off as more interesting. >.> Episode 2: Ken is on-screen a little longer but not by much. >.> Still kinda boring, but the Yakuza turf war stuff may get more interesting. I don't mean in action way, it's not that kind of series. I think. I think Ken is supposed to become more important in the series/with the main chr, so going to watch more and hopefully Eps. 3 will be the one.

Yes.

I am unable to get multiplayer to work at all on my Nintendo. Game runs beautifully. Cross play is enabled and I can see my friends game but when I try to join the game just says there is a connection error or the game just flat out crashes and I end up on the dashboard. I cannot host a game either. The game just crashes. Latest update hasn’t made any difference. Am I the only one? other games work perfectly on multiplayer. And my network settings are all fine. My console is NAT type A so I don’t think that’s the problem.

Yes it is lots of unnecessary drama and outrage and Biden is right The US cant provide the same support to Israel for the Rafah military campaign without a proper humanitarian plan for the Palestinian civilians And despite discussion around this Israel has not provided a satisfactory plan for this so the US must do something like suspending this type of military aid, I dont know how much of difference it will make but its symbolically important

Patch 1.4.2 breaks my game. Got the same issue since last Patch 1.4.2 on PS5. Just building a medevial castle and can no longer place items around a specific area. Looks like a problem on collision calculation of an item that prevent placing others close to it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in here before, but a sequel to the Orphan Black sci-fi series is coming out June 23 on AMC. It stars Krysten Ritter of Jessica Jones fame. I enjoyed the original, particularly the remarkable work of Tatiana Maslany who simultaneously played more than five different and completely unique characters, so I'm looking forward to it.

Prior the patch, I had no collisions or "Location Obstructed" issues building above a certain elevation against the tree. Now I get them constantly in both my single player and multiplayer saves. Its not all build able items. I can place a flag at that elevation as well as some bug mounts. Also grass planks and stem scaffolding seems to be unaffected. Other objects are untested. Moving objects still shows location obstructed even if overlapping or not. Platform PC(Steam) Is this an isolated event? Screenshots provided for context.
